These Chocolate Salted Caramel Pecan Bites are THE BOMB!!

No one walks away without going – ‘OH YUM’ out loud! Promise!!

And they are so easy to make!!

Ingredients for Chocolate Bombs:

Pecan Nuts

Caramel

Chocolate – your favorite plain milk or pure (70%)

Rock Salt

Method:

Toast the pecan nuts in a hot pan. (Heat the pan first and then throw them in – turning continually until you smell a warm pecan nut smell.) Do not let them burn – they can color slightly – but no more

Spread the nuts out – flat side down – onto a baking sheet – lined with wax / baking paper

Let them cool down a little

Add a teaspoon – or dollop – of caramel to each pecan nut

Add a little sprinkle of rock salt – a few little bits – onto the top of the caramel

If the caramel is still solid move onto the next step = but if you are in hot weather then you may need to pop them into the fridge for 15 minutes or so – until the caramel has firmed up again.

Melt your chocolate – I do this in a glass bowl over a pot of steaming water *see tips below

Cover each ‘bomb’ with enough chocolate to fully coat it.

I covered the chocolate by dipping the pecan nut and caramel into the melted chocolate on a spoon.

Put into the fridge until hard.

* Tips to Melt Chocolate

Chop or break the chocolate into uniform pieces so it melts evenly

Avoid contact with water – be especially careful if you melt it over steam
